INTRODUCTION. 


OUR  idea  is  to  put  in  small  space,  with  comfortable 
type,  the  old  and  new  hyinns  which  are  so  "catch- 
ing" that  a  congregation  cannot  help  but  sing.  Not 
more  than  one  out  of  four  church-goers  sings,  and  he 
who  does  sing  is  apt  to  do  it  with  his  mouth  half  shut, 
as  though  to  keep  his  soul  from  escaping  with  the  utter- 
ance. 

We  do  not  print  the  music  with  the  words,  because  the 
vast  majority  of  people  in  church  never  look  at  the 
music  even  when  it  is  printed.  Besides  that,  nearly  all 
the  tunes  we  sing  are  familiar,  and  we  need  no  guide- 
board  on  a  road  we  have  all  our  lives  been  travelling. 
If  there  be  any  one  who  does  not  know  "  Toplady  "  and 
"  Antioch,"  we  defy  all  the  music  books  of  the  world  to 
teach  him.  When  we  want  to  employ  "  new  tunes  " 
we  will  learn  them  in  the  congregational  singing-school, 
an  indispensable  institution.  The  "notes"  are  indis- 
pensable for  schools  where  the  art  is  to  be  learned ;  but 
if  in  church  one  cannot  follow  a  tune  except  by  poising 
himself,  on  minims  or  semi-quavers,  there  will  not  be 
much  devotion  in  what  he  sings.  It  makes  us  nervous 
to  have  a  man  sitting  next  to  us  in  church  who  sings  by 
note  when  he  does  not  know  how.  Instead  of  mounting 
heavenward  on  the  five-runged  ladder  of  the  musical 
staff,  he  is  all  the  time  afraid  of  falling  off.  We  do  not 
come  to  church  to  study  music,  but  to  worship  God. 


INTRODUCTION. 

We  also  want  a  cheap  book,  so  that  if  there  be  ten 
members  of  a  family,  there  can  be  ten  copies  in  a  pew, 
that  number  costing  no  more  than  one  copy  of  the 
ordinarily  expensive  Church  Hymn  Book. 

We  hear  on  all  sides  a  demand  for  such  a  publication 
and  to  supply  that,  while  at  the  same  time  we  gratify 
our   own   congregation,    we    send    this    unpretending 
volume  forth  with  the  prayer,  "Let  every  thing  .that 
hath  breath  praise  the  Lord  ! "

THESE  two  hundred  choice  hymns,  which  are  enough 
to  last  any  congregation  for  a  long  time,  are  arranged 
in  alphabetical  order.  This  affords  much  greater  conve- 
nience for  finding  them,  than  if  arranged  according  to 
their  subjects. 

An  ample  Index  of  Subjects  is  at  the  end  of  the  book, 
as  well  as  an  Index,  of  First  Lines. 

On  page  2  will  be  found  an  Index  of  Sped" I  Tunet 
adapted  to  the  hymns  of  irregular  metre.  This  fur- 
nishes every  needed  facility  for  the  use  of  all  those 
hymns.  The  other  hymns  can  be  sung  to  well-known 
tunes,  concerning  which  no  particular  direction  is 
needed. 

Compilers  of  other  hymn  books  are  reminded  that 
many  of  the  hymns  in  this  book  are  copyright  property, 
which  must  not  be  taken  without  consent  of  the  pub- 
lishers.

Watch.— Matt.  25. 13. 

A  CHARGE  to  keep  I  have, 
A  God  to  glorify ; 
A  never-dying  soul  to  save, 
And  lit  it  for  the  sky. 

2  To  serve  the  present  age, 
My  calling  to  fulfil, 

0,  may  it  all  my  powers  engage 
To  do  my  Master's  will 

3  Arm  me  with  jealous  care, 
As  in  thy  sight  to  live  ; 

And  0,  thy  servant,  Lord,  prepare 
A  strict  account  to  givo. 

4c  Help  me  to  watch  and  pray, 

And  on  thyself  rely, 
Assured,  if  I  my  trust  betray, 

I  shall  forever  die.

Christ  died  for  our  sins.— 1  Cor.  15.  3. 

ALAS!  and  did  my  Saviour  bleed! 
And  did  my  Sov'reign  die ! 
Would  he  devote  that  sacred  head 

For  such  a  worm  as  I  ?

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  have  done, 
lie  groaned  upon  the  tree? 

Amazing  pityl  grace  unknown  1 
And  love  beyond  degree ! 

3  "Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide 
And  shut  his  glories  in ; 

When  Christ,  the  mighty  Maker,  died 
For  man  the  creature's  sin. 

4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 
While  his  dear  cross  appears : 

Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness, 
And  melt  mine  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 
The  debt  of  love  I  owe ; 

Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 

3  CM. 

God  is  faithful,  who  will  not  suffer  you  to  be  tempted 
above  that  ye  are  able.— 1  Cor.  10.  13. 

ALAS  !  what  hourly  dangers  rise, 
What  snares  beset  my  way ; 
To  heaven,  0  let  me  lift  mine  eyes, 
And  hourly  watch  and  pray. 

2  Whene'er  temptations  frig  lit  my  heart, 
Or  lure  my  leet  aside, 

My  God,  thy  powerful  aid  impart, 
My  Guardian  and  my  Guide. 

3  0  keep  me  in  thy  heavenly  way, 
And  bid  the  tempter  lice  ; 

And  let  me  never,  never  stray, 
From  happiness  and  thee.

King  of  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords.— Rev.  19. 16, 

ALL  hail  the  power  of  Jesus'  name  1 
Let  angels  prostrate  fall ; 
Bring  forth  the  royal  diadem, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

2  Ye  chosen  seed  of  Israel's  race, 
Ye  ransomed  from  the  fall, 

Hail  him,  who  saves  you  by  his  grace, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

3  Sinners,  whose  love  can  ne'er  forget 
The  wormwood  and  the  gall, 

Go,  spread  your  trophies  at  his  feet, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

4  Let  every  kindred,  every  tribe, 
On  this  terrestrial  ball, 

To  him  all  majesty  ascribe, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all. 

5  0  that  with  yonder  sacred  throng, 
We  at  his  feet  may  fall ; 

We  '11  join  the  everlasting  song, 
And  crown  him  Lord  of  all.

Being  justified  freely  by  his  grace. — Romans  3.  24. 

AMAZING-  grace !  how  sweet  the  sound 
That  saved  a  wretch  like  me ! 

1  once  was  lost,  but  now  am  found : 
Was  blind,  but  now  I  see. 

2  'Twas  grace  that  taught  my  heart  to  fear, 
And  grace  my  fears  relieved: 

How  precious  did  that  grace  appear, 
The  hour  I  first  believed!

'Tis  grace  that  brought  me  safe  thus  far, 
And  grace  will  lead  me  home. 

4  And  when  this  flesh  and  heart  shall  fail, 
And  mortal  life  shall  cease, 

I  shall  possess,  within  the  vail, 
A  life  of  joy  and  peace.

Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith.— 1  Tim.  6. 12. 

AM  I  a  soldier  of  the  cross, 
A  foil' wer  of  the  Lamb? 
And  shall  I  fear  to  own  his  cause, 
Or  blush  to  speak  his  name  ? 

2  Must  I  be  carried  to  the  skies, 
On  flowery  beds  of  ease  ? 

While  others  fought  to  win  the  prize, 
And  sailed  through  bloody  seas  ? 

3  Are  there  no  foes  for  me  to  face  ? 
Must  I  not  stem  the  flood? 

Is  this  vile  world  a  friend  to  grace. 
To  help  me  on  to  G-od  ? 

4  Sure,  I  must  fight,  if  I  W9uld  reign:- 
Increase  my  courage,  Lord ! 

I'll  bear  the  toil,  endure  the  pain, 
Supported  by  the  word. 

5  Thy  saints,  in  all  this  glorious  war, 
Shall  conquer,  though  they  die ; 

They  see  the  triumph  from  afar, 

Bv  faith  they  bring  it  nigh.

We  shall  all  stand  before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ 
Komans  14.  10. 

AND  will  the  Judge  descend? 
And  must  the  dead  arise? 
And  not  a  single  soul  escape 
His  all-discerning  eyes  ? 

2  How  will  my  heart  endure 
The  terrors  of  that  day, 

When  earth  and  heaven  before  his  face 
Astonished  shrink  away? 

3  But  ere  the  trumpet  shakes 
The  mansions  of  the  dead, 

Hark  !  from  the  Gospel's  cheering  sound, 
What  joyful  tidings  spread. 

4  Ye  sinners,  seek  his  grace, 
Whose  wrath  ye  cannot  bear ; 

Fly  to  the  shelter  of  his  cross, 
And  find  salvation  there.

O  God,  hear  the  prayer  of  thy  servant.— Dan.  9. 17.

For  none  can  perish  there.

And  such,  0  Lord,  am  I. 

3  Bow'd  down  beneath  a  load  of  sin, 
By  Satan  sorely  press'd, 

By  war  without,  and  fear  within, 
I  come  to  thee  for  rest. 

4  Be  thou  my  shield  and  hiding-place ; 
That,  shelter'd  near  thy  side, 

I  may  my  fierce  accuser  face, 
And  tell  him,  Thou  hast  died. 

5  0,  wondrous  love !  to  bleed  and  die, 
To  bear  the  cross  and  shame, 

That  guilty  sinners,  such  as  I, 
Might  plead  thy  gracious  Name !

The  bleeding  sacrifice 
In  my  behalf  appears  ; 
Before  the  throne  my  surety  stands : 
My  name  is  written  on  his  hands. 

2  He  ever  lives  above, 

For  me  to  intercede, 

His  all-redeeming  love, 

His  precious  blood  to  plead ; 
His  blood  atoned  for  all  our  race, 
And  sprinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace.

And  tells  me  I  am  born  of  God

UI  am  Jehovah — God  alone:" 

Thy  voice  their  idols  shall  confound, 
And  cast  their  altars  to  the  ground. 

3  No  more  let  human  blood  be  spilt, 
Yain  sacrifice  for  human  guilt ; 

But  to  each  conscience  be  applied 
The  blood  that  flowed  from  Jesus'  side.

Should  speak  their  joys  abroad.

Or  walk  the  golden  streets.

And  every  tear  be  dry ;

I  can  tarry,  I  can  tarry  but  a  night. 

3  There's  the  city  to  which  I  journey  ; 
My  Redeemer,  my  Redeemer  is  its  light ; 
There  is  no  sorrow,  nor  any  sighing, 
There  is  no  sin  there,  nor  any  dying.

Strangers  and  pilgrims  on  the  earth.— Heb.  11. 18.

Dangers  and  sorrows  stand 
Round  me  on  every  hand, 
Heaven  is  my  Fatherland,

Heaven  is  my  home ;

Soon  will  be  over-past, 

I  shall  reach  home  at  last-

The  forgiveness  of  sins,  according  to  the 
riches  of  his  grace.—  Eph.  1.  7. 

I  SAW  One  hanging  on  a  tree 
In  agony  and  blood, 
Who  fixed  his  languid  eyes  on  me 
As  near  the  cross  I  stood. 

2  Sure  never,  till  my  latest  breath, 
Can  I  forget  that  look ; 

It  seemed  to  charge  me  with  Ms  death, 
Though  not  a  word  he  spoke. 

3  Alas  I  I  knew  not  what  I  did, 
But  now  my  tears  are  vain ; 

Where  shall  my  trembling  soul  be  hid, 
Eor  I  the  Lord  have  slain ! 

4  A  second  look  he  gave  that  said, 
I  freely  all  forgive : 

This  blood  is  for  thy  ransom  paid ; 
I  die  that  thou  mayst  live. 

5  Thus  while  his  death  my  sin  displays 
In  all  its  blackest  hue, 

Such  is  the  mystery  of  grace, 

It  seals  my  pardon  tool

Whoso  liveth  and  believeth  in  me  shall  nerer  die.

To  leave  this  weary  road, 
And  'mid  the  brotherhood  on  high, 
To  be  at  home  with  God. 

2  It  is  not  death  to  close 

The  eye  long  dimmed  by  tears, 
And  wake,  in  glorious  repose, 
To  spend  eternal  years. 

3  It  is  not  death  to  bear 

The  wrench  that  sets  us  free 
From  dungeon  chain  to  breathe  the  air 
Of  boundless  liberty. 

4  It  is  not  death  to  fling 
Aside  this  sinful  dust, 

And  rise,  on  strong  exulting  wing, 
To  live  among  the  just.

Thy  chosen  cannot  die ; 

Like  thee,  they  conquer  in  the  strife, 
To  reign  with  thee  on  high.

I  was  a  wayward  child, 
I  did  not  love  my  home, 

1  did  not  love  my  Father's  voice, 
I  loved  afar  to  roam. 

2  The  Shepherd  sought  his  sheep, 
The  Father  sought  his  child  ; 

They  followed  me  o'er  vale  and  hill, 
O'er  deserts  waste  and  wild. 

They  found  me  nigh  to  death, 
Famished,  and  faint,  and  lone ; 

They  bound  me  with  the  bands  of  love, 
They  saved  the  wand'ring  one. 

3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is, 
'Twas  he  that  loved  my  sour ; 

'Twas  he  that  washed  me  in  his  blood, 
'Twas  he  that  made  me  whole. 

'Twas  he  that  sought  the  lost, 
That  found  the  wandering  sheep  ; 

'Twas  he  that  brought  me  to  the  fold, 
'Tis  he  that  still  doth  keep. 

4  No  more  a  wandering  sheep,

I  love  my  tender  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  love  the  peaceful  fold. 
No  more  a  wayward  child, 

I  seek  no  more  to  roam ; 
I  love  my  heavenly  Father's  voice, 

I  love,  I  love  his  home.

The  soul  that  scorns  the  mandate  dies, 
And  meets  a  fiery  day. 

2  No  more  the  sov'reign  eye  of  God 
O'erlooks  the  crimes  of  men  ; 

His  heralds  now  are  sent  abroad 
To  warn  the  world  of  sin. 

3  0  sinners !  in  his  presence  bow, 
And  all  your  guilt  confess ; 

Accept  the  offered  Saviour  now, 
Nor  trifle  with  his  grace. 

4  Soon  will  the  awful  trumpet  sound, 
And  call  you  to  his  bar ; 

His  mercy  knows  th'  appointed  bound, 
And  yields  to  justice  there. 

5  Amazing  love — that  yet  will  call, 
And  yet  prolong  our  days ! 

Our  hearts,  subdued  by  goodness,  fall, 
And  weep,  and  love,  and  praise.

We  have  seen  his  star  in  the  east. — Matt.  2.  2. 

WHEN,  marshaird  on  the  nightly  plain, 
The  glittering  host  bestud  the  sky, 
One  star  alone,  of  all  the  train, 
Can  fix  the  sinner's  wand'ring  eye. 

2  Hark  !  hark !  to  God  the  chorus  breaks 
From  every  host,  from  every  gem  ; 

But  one  alone  the  Saviour  speaks, 
It  is  the  Star  of  Bethlehem. 

3  Once  on  the  raging  seas  I  rode, 

The  storm  was  loud,  the  night  was  dark; 
The  ocean  yawn'd,  and  rudely  blow'd 
The  wind  that  toss'd  my  found'ring  bark. 


4  Deep  horror  then  my  vitals  froze ; 
Death-struck,  I  ceas'd  the  tide  to  stem ; 

When  suddenly  a  star  arose, 
It  was  the  Star  of  Bethlehem  1 

5  It  was  my  Guide,  my  Light,  my  All ; 
It  bade  my  dark  forebodings  cease ; 

And,  through  the  storm  and  danger's  thrall, 
It  led  me  to  the  port  of  peace. 

6  Now,  safely  mour'd,  my  perils  o'er, 
I'll  sing,  first  in  night's  diadem, 

Forever,  and  for  evermore, 

The  Star,  the  Star  of  Bethlehem!

Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  labour  and  are  heavy  laden, 
and  I  will  give  you  rest. — Matt.  11.  28. 

WITH  tearful  eyes  I  look  around, 
Life  seems  a  dark  and  stormy  sea; 
Tet  'midst  the  gloom  I  hear  a  sound, 
A  heavenly  whisper,  Come  to  me. 

2  It  tells  me  of  a  place  of  rest, — 

Tt  tells  me  where  my  soul  may  flee ; 
0,  to  the  weary,  faint,  oppress'd, 
How  sweet  the  bidding,  Come  to  me. 

3  "When  nature  shudders,  loth  to  part 
From  all  I  love,  enjoy,  and  see ; 

When  a  faint  chill  steals  o'er  my  heart, 
A  sweet  voice  utters,  Come  to  me. 

4  Come,  for  all  else  must  fail  and  die ; 
Earth  is  no  resting-place  for  thee ; 

Heavenward  direct  thy  weeping  eye ;

IF  God  is  mine,  then  present  things,

Yea,  Christ,  his  word  and  Spirit  too, 
And  glory  all  divine.

He  every  trouble  sends ; 

All  things  are  working  for  my  good, 
And  bliss  His  rod  attends. 

3  If  He  is  mine,  I  need  uot  fear 
The  rage  of  earth  and  hell ; 

He  will  support  my  feeble  frame, 
Their  utmost  force  repel. 

4  If  he  is  mine,  let  friends  forsake; 
Let  wealth  and  honors  flee: 

Sure  He,  who  giveth  me  Himself 
Is  more  than  these  to  me. 

5  If  He  is  mine,  I'll  boldly  pass 
Through  death's  tremeudous  vale  ;

Take  it  to  the  Lord  in  prayer ; 
In  his  arras  He'll  take  and  shield  thee, 

Thou  wilt  find  a  refuge  there. 

231  L.  M.,  6  lines. 

WHAT  means  this  eager,  anxious  throng, 
Which  moves  with  busy  haste  along? 
These  wondrous  gatherings  day  by  day, 
What  means  this  strange  commotion,  pray  ?- 
In  accents  hushed  the  throng  reply, 
"Jesus  of  Nazareth  passeth  by." 

2  Who  is  this  Jesus  ?  why  should  he 
The  city  move  so  mightily  ? 

A  passing  stranger,  has  he  skill 
To  move  the  multitude  at  will  ? 
Again  the  stirring  tones  repty, 
"  Jesus  of  Nazareth  passeth  by." 

3  Jesus !  'tis  he  who  once  below, 
Man's  pathway  trod,  'mid  pain  and  woe; 
And  burdened  ones  where'er  he  came, 
Brought  out  their  sick  and  deaf  and  lame  ; 
The  blind  rejoiced  to  hear  the  cry, 
"Jesus  of  Nazareth  passeth  by." 

4  Again  he  comes  from  place  to  place, 
His  holy  footprints  we  can  trace ; 

He  pauses  at  our  threshold — nay, 
He  enters — condescends  to  stay ;

Sriniig  Supplement. 

Shall  we  DOt  gladly  raise  the  cry, 
''Jesus  of  Xazaretli  passcth  by?" 

5  Ho  !  all  ye  heavy-laden,  come  ; 
Here's  pardon,  comfort,  rest,  and  home. 
Ye  wanderers  from  a  Father's  face, 
Return!  accept  his  proflered  grace: 
Ye  tempted  ones  there's  refuge  nigh, 
'•Jesus  of  Nazareth  passeth  by." 

6  But  if  you  still  this  call  refuse, 
And  all  his  wondrous  love  abuse, 
Soon  will  he  sadly  from  you  turn, 
Yrour  bitter  prayer  for  pardon  spurn. 

"  Too  late  !  too  late !  "  will  be  the  cry, 
"  Jesus  of  Nazareth  has  passed  by."

WATCHMAN,  tell  us  of  the  night, 
What  its  signs  of  promise  are: 
Traveler,  o'er  yon  mountain's  height, 

See  that  glory-beaming  star ! 
"Watchman,  does  its  beauteous  ray 

Aught  of  hope  or  joy  foretell? 
Traveler,  yes,  it  brings  the  day, 
Promised  day  of  Israel. 

2  Watchman,  bell  us  of  the  night; 

Higher  yet  that  star  ascends  : 
Traveler,  blessedness  and  light, 

Peace  and  truth,  its  course  portends. 
Watchman,  will  its  beams  alone 

Gild  the  spot  that  gave  them  birth? 
Traveler,  ages  are  its  own; 

See,  it  bursts  o'er  all  the  earth.

ZION  stands  with  hills  surrounded — 
Zion,  kept  by  power  divine ; 
All  her  foes  shall  be  confounded, 
Though  the  world  in  arms  combine ; 

Happy  Zion, 
What  a  favored  lot  is  thine ! 

2  Every  human  tie  may  perish  ; 
Friend  to  friend  unfaithful  prove  ; 

Mothers  cease  their  own  to  cherish  ; 
Heaven  and  earth  at  last  remove ; 

But  no  changes 
Can  attend  Jehovah's  love. 

3  In  the  furnace  God  may  prove  thee, 
Thence  to  bring  thee  forth  more  bright, 

But  can  never  cease  to  love  thee  ; 
Thou  art  precious  in  his  sight ; 

God  is  with  thee — 
God,  thine  everlasting  light.

Through  ages  of  eternal  years,
